seller note | 1800s EAR TRUMPET CONVERSATION TUBE WITH BAKELITE HORN & SILK HOSE 19inch LONG RARE! WITH A BLACK BAKELITE HORN WHICH YOU WOULD SPEAK INTO AND A BAKELITE EAR PIECE WHICH WAS INSERTED INTO ONES EAR. THE FLEXIBLE SILK COVERED RUBBER HOSE CONNECTS THE TWO ENDS |
comment | I have been looking for one of these short conversation tubes for ages. The last one went for nearly £300 and I was outbid - this was more reasonable but the Global Shipping Program is too expensive |
